Answer:

x + 2y = 16

The slope-intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

y=mx+b

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

y= −1/2x+8

Hey there!

The answer is y =
(-1)/(2)x + 8

To put it into slope-intercept form, we must get "y" by itself on one side of the equation. First, to do this, we will subtract "x" from both sides.

2y = -x + 16

Lastly, we divide both sides by 2

y =
(-1)/(2)x + 8

Have a super awesome day! :)
